How far is a reasonable distance for someone to hike on their first trip?
I understand this depends on a lot of variables, such as the person's fitness, the route they are planning to do, etc, but some approximate numbers would be helpful.
In my specific case, we're both very active. We've been weight training in the gym for the last 6 and 11 years respectively - and it shows.
Our plan is to hike during June this year, so we have time to train. Is it realistic to think we could do Cumbria Way in The Lake District, or West Highland Way in Scotland?
